Joseph Cornell was an artist known for his shadow box art. He kept his interests separate and together by creating these boxes which also reflected the small wooden house in which he lived. The script is made of compartments rather than having one event trigger another. A character may come into a scene or Cornell may move out of a scene and the scene completely changes. It is not always clear if the stage directions are to only be followed or if some are to be read. Sometimes there are…

I’ve decided to write my reflection about Essay 2 “explaining a concept.” This essay was my best work and I felt like I had fun typing this essay. The concept that I wrote about was “Senioritis.” I liked the idea of talking about something that almost everyone in high school could relate to, including me.

Styling the Classroom to Suit Introverts and Extraverts Though many may find this hard to believe, almost 50% of the United States population is introverted (Buettner). In a country where extraversion is so commonly seen, from social media celebrities’ posts to politicians, it is easy to forget about the quieter side of our population. But to ignore half of our population, especially in the classroom, is completely unfair. In today’s society where extraversion is rewarded in classrooms, many…
